ISL8036AIRZ-T

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The ISL8036AIRZ-T is a dual-channel synchronous step-down switching regulator manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates with an input voltage range of 2.85 V to 6 V and provides adjustable output voltages from 800 mV to 6 V per channel. Each channel supports a continuous output current of 3 A, delivering a total capacity suitable for powering complex digital loads. The device integrates a fixed switching frequency of 2.5 MHz and features current sharing capabilities between channels. Packaged in a 24-lead QFN (4x4 mm) with an exposed pad, it is designed for surface-mount installation and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration before ordering. Confirm that the component status reflects end-of-life notifications or discontinuation timelines provided by the manufacturer. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly. Validate that the 24-VFQFN footprint matches the target PCB layout specifications exactly.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated buck converters are required within a single compact form factor. The 2.5 MHz frequency allows for smaller external passive components compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Current sharing functionality simplifies parallel operation for higher load demands without complex control loops. Verify input voltage constraints align with the system's supply rail to ensure stable regulation across the full operating temperature range.
